Alanine Beschreibung
Alanine is an amino acid that is used as one of the building blocks for the creation of protein. It is considered a non-essential amino acid, meaning that since it is produced by the body it does not have to be consumed as part of the human diet. Amino acids significantly impact skin appearance because they are the basis for fibrous proteins in skin, including collagen, elastin, and keratin. Topically, amino acids have been shown to have a positive impact in helping skin retain moisture. Alanine in particular exhibits calming properties when applied to skin.
